"They were engaged in a battle which was being fought not only in the blood-drenched trenches, but also in the minds of people. It was a war about the survival of civilization and all that was decent in mankind." - from the rear outer jacket. "Renowned for his role in command of the SAS in the Falklands War and, earlier, for directing the rescue at the Iranian Embassy siege, General Sir Michael Rose tells the inside story of one of the toughest challenges of his career, as Commander of the UN Protection Force in Bosnia in 1994. General Rose inherited a UN mission that was sliding into chaos. His brief was to sustain the people of Bosnia in the midst of a devastating three-sided civil war, to bring about conditions of peace and to prevent the conflict from escalating in a way that would have had dire repercussions for Europe and the rest of the world. Amidst scenes of inhumanity not witnessed in Europe since the Second World War, he describes how he dealt with individuals who wold stop at nothing, even the sacrifice of their own people, to fulfil their personal and political agendas. He sets the record straight on his handling of crises such as the sieges of Sarajevo, Gorazde and Bihac, and portrays the other hazards of his command: the often conflicting objectives of NATO and the UN, the political sensibilities of the troop-contributing nations, the historic loyalties and lobbies of the US administration and the manipulation of international opinion by the media. When General Rose left Bosnia at the end of the year the military conflict had been stabilised, aid convoys were reaching their destinations and civilians were once again able to walk the streets. How this turnaround in Bosnia's fortunes was achieved in such a comparatively short time is the subject of this plain-speaking, controversial account of a complex and bloody war." - from the inner front jacket flap.
